Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The Pope has said in that encyclical, which everybody is so up in arms about, that we cannot solve the climate crisis without addressing the interconnected problem of extreme poverty. Rising seas and more extreme drought will hit the world's poorest the hardest. Does this government still believe that coal is good for humanity? And would they be willing to repeat that directly to the nations of Tuvalu and Kiribati at the Paris negotiations?
